Why can't that user be created as needed? I already have an "apache" user and group on my web servers - I create them when I install Apache. I also have users on various machines for PostgreSQL, Cyrus, GDM, NetSaint, MySQL, Courier, Gale, and Minivend, among others. But I don't suggest that my needs should be added to the FreeBSD base system. What's special about "www"? (Apart from being a horrible unpronounceable word that's bugged me since it first appeared.) -- Christopher Masto CB461C61 8AFC E3A8 7CE5 9023 B35D C26A D849 1F6E CB46 1C61 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
